What were the last TV shows you watched?

Justin Timberlake absolutely destroyed his opening monologue on SNL last night. I may not be a fan of his stuff, but damn he did a great job.

Yeah he did. I may have to see if I can find an mp3 of that for my iPod.

That was pretty awesome. So was the live-action Ambiguously Gay Duo. It took me a good deal of effort to spot Carrel and Colbert.

Just watched the "Event" finale and as I feared, they left us hanging with no chance of closure. They FINALLY said what the Event was, but also delivered a neat twist. I never understood the hate for the show. Never at all. I guess my "good" is the rest of the world's "bad". I do not watch a lot of TV, so I guess I'm pretty much pleased with anything.

Watched the House finale. It was...interesting, to say the least. He really went over the edge in this one though. Can't wait to see where the take the show in it's (hopefully) final season.

Agreed. And doing The Barry Gibb Talk Show again was great. Not to mention 3-Way (The Golden Rule) is a hilarious sequel to Motherlover.

I know I'm waaaaayyyy late to the party but I just got around to watching the first episode of Breaking Bad and I'm already hooked. I had been meaning to watch this show for a long time and just never got around to it. But I was in a store today and found the first three seasons on blu-ray on sale for $15 each so I got brave and blind bought all three. Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few days.

Watched the pilot episode of Death Note, since it was free on iTunes, making it my first anime.


OH. MY. GOSH.

The basic story line of Death Note is a brilliant student named Light finds the Death Note, a notebook that was dropped by Ryuk, a rogue Shinigami death God. Light quickly discovers that anyone's whose name is written in the Death Note dies 40 seconds later of a heart attack, unless the cause of death is also written down. So then Light decides to use the Death Note to rid the world of evil, by essentially killing criminals from his bedroom.

I enjoyed the hell out of the first half of Death Note. After a certain point, I was marathon watching it, not because I was extracting any pleasure from it but because my delight in the first half demanded a conclusion. But the format for that first half is incredible. (Save for the potato chip sequence... y-you'll know it when you see it.) It sets up stipulations and rules and then it uses them like a chess game in which the two main characters to duke it out in the most balls-out fashion imaginable. Surprisingly cerebral.

Is the whole thing still up on Hulu? It was last year.

[Gowienczyk]

Death Note is certainly a good thriller, but eventually you start scratching your head around halfway in when the writers try to keep the thing going when a notable conclusion would be far more fitting then dragging it on for 15 or so more episodes. So, yeah; I really do enjoy watching most of it, but I still notice problems with it as it goes on.
